Peace that makes no sense

Peace that makes no sense

When things don’t seem to be going as expected. When your world feels so far from what you envisaged. When you have a big issue before you and you don’t know how to get out of it. What do you do in these times? These times where you are can’t seem to hold on to any peace at all. Is it possible to have peace in the midst of chaos? Today I want to talk to you about getting access to this peace.

Overthinking can start subtle and creep in like a normal occurrence until it becomes an issue that affects us significantly. It can be daunting to spot an issue but you can’t really solve a problem without being aware of it. Can you identify when you are overthinking or has it become so normal to you that you can’t see any other way of doing life?

Negative Mind Reading

Negative Mind Reading

Hey Friends, It is so easy to tell our side of a story and include what others where thinking in the story. This way of reading people’s thoughts can be to our disadvantage as well as our advantage that is when we feel they are thinking good about us. But today I want us to talk about the negative impact of mind reading.

Embracing Your Season

Embracing Your Season

We as human beings can be at different seasons of our life’s journey. So let me give you a breakdown on how to thrive in whatever season of life you are currently in.

Feeling Embarrassed for Others

Feeling Embarrassed for Others

The closer you get to someone, the more you are tempted to control the way they do things, sometimes out of protecting them and often times out of selfish reasons of how their actions will make you feel. I believe that in order to let everyone around us thrive, we should deal with the feeling of embarrassment that occurs when we see them evolve, show their personality and just generally grow as a person. How can we effectively achieve this?

When we experience hurt it can be hard to forgive and forget. We carry the pain with us like a limp and talk about it to anyone who cares to hear. Often we can find solace in just doing this that it becomes our identity, but do we really want it to be our identity? It's not easy to let go of a painful situation so let's talk about how to process it.

Making Decisions

Making Decisions

I’m sure you have experienced times when you had to make a decision, be it a light one or a hard one. What would you say has guided you in deciding what to do, in choosing which way to go? There are a couple of things that have guided my decision making so let’s dive straight into it.

Now at some point in our life we have felt and we will feel discouraged about some thing specific or even life in general. One can feel trapped in this state so let's talk about how to process our feeling of discouragement and thrive.

Shame is a very common emotion that can keep us stuck and in the dark. How can we free ourselves from the constant feeling of shame?

What is possible

What is possible

Today I want to talk to you about what is possible – what is defined by the Cambridge dictionary as an unusual and mysterious event that is thought to have been caused by a God because it does not follow the usual laws of nature. Sit back or keep doing what you are doing and listen:)

What do you do in the waiting? You know when you are still expecting to get the result you want, the period where it doesn’t look like anything is happening. The waiting period can seem so long and hard. It could seem like there is no way out or you might be left wondering how it will all happen.

People Pleasing Habits

People Pleasing Habits

What are the habits we have formed in other to please people and get them to keep liking us, what effects do these habits have on us and what should we do instead?

Not Doing Life Alone

Not Doing Life Alone

How important is it not to do life alone even as an introvert? It feels straight forward to just face your job and busy yourself raising your kids and taking care of your immediate family. While that might be a priority for you, as human beings we were made to connect. We need human connection to thrive. Listen as I inspire you on this.

What do you do when you feel stuck? When you feel you have come to the end of yourself. Do you numb yourself so you don't think about it? Being stuck leads to a feeling of despair, and a constant state of despair can lead to hopelessness and depression. So what can you do instead?

Pain is a part of our human experience and it often saves us from more danger and becomes a symptom that signifies that something more might be happening. Time is needed to heal pain but the stories we tell ourselves regarding the situation can prolong the healing process. Here I talk about dirty pain and how to avoid it.

Unhealthy Comparison

Unhealthy Comparison

Today I want us to discuss comparison in the context of comparing people. When is it healthy and when does it pose an issue? Comparing has been engraved in our culture, it can be seen in our schools, our marriages, our work force and generally in life but how do you as a parent educate and talk to your child about comparison; and as an individual how do you see comparison. When is comparison healthy?

Controlling Others

Controlling Others

Do you wish that you can control everyone around you to make them do what you want? Or are you on the other end where you feel controlled by someone and you are wondering how to free yourself? You might be thinking, my life would be a whole lot better if I could control everyone around me. Could it really make life easy for you to have that power over people? Today I want to share my thoughts about controlling others, and perhaps it will free you from being the controller or being controlled.

Escape The Rate Race

Escape The Rate Race

As a mum working full time, I was always on the move. The move to get to work by 7am, the move to handle all their extra activities after school, to get dinner ready and get them ready for bed. It made me pause and think? When I grow older, what would give me more joy? I knew my answer and then I said to myself - No More Rat Race! That was the beginning of my making conscious choices that I have never regretted.

At one point in your life you must have said the phrase I don't have any friends, maybe when you were younger or even as a grown up. It might have been true or coming from experience, it might be the emotions of the moment that was speaking at that particular time. Whatever your story was I know that a lot of us struggle with making friends especially as introverts. So today I want to talk about how to make friends - I mean genuine friends, and the things to note about friendships.
